Todd Rhodes band was largely an instrumental outfit of seasoned jazz and blues players. This 30 track cd is compiled to spotlight the great singers who recorded with the band, from the well-known Lavern Baker, Wynonie Harris, Dave Bartholomew and Lonnie Johnson to the more obscure Louie Saunders, Pinocchio James, Emmitt Slay and Connie Allen; the latter infamous for the risqué "Rocket 69", while Wynonie suggests "Keep On Churnin' ('Til The Butter Comes)" and his final hit, "Lovin' Machine". Great good time sounds from a band that would become associated on sessions with the early Tamla/Motown label..........
